I only play Morde, but can't since Rework... I think he needs adjustments to his kit.

I love playing new Morde, but his ban rate is astronomically high, sitting at about twice that of the new champ. I don't think Morde is necessarily OP, but I know people hate playing against him, so I think he could use some changes.

Now hear me out before you downvote this, but make his passive into his old passive, and his W into his passive.

His passive should become his old Iron man passive, but require 3 stacks to get going(like the passive he has now) so that way he has to engage, and stay in combat to start shielding and doesn't have permanent movement speed bonus and Rylais slow to run you down forever.

Now his W can become the circular aoe from his current passive that lasts for a few seconds and grants him movement speed while active, then he can reactivate it for a burst damage heal(he needs this to replace his lost healing from current W) like Old Juggernaut Morde. Old Morde Mains loved his W before.

This will make Morde feel less like "AP Darius" and more like his old self, while removing his permanent damage passive that everyone hates, and giving Morde a new cooldown for him and his enemies to play around. It will also delay his power a little since he won't be able to have 3 damaging abilities at level 2 like he does currently. The W change will also force Morde to risk a fight in order to heal himself, unlike his current form where you can just smash minions and slowly heal with W.

Thoughts?
